Time Tracking With API?

I am wondering if there is a way to connect Web Help Desk with an API that will allow techs to start and stop time as they are working on a job. I'd like it to automatically keep track of times based on starting a clock at the beginning of the job and stopping the clock when they are done for that time period. This way the time could be entered in to the ticket automatically and notes can be added thereafter. I'm not a pro with API's, I have just used some easy peezy interfaces like Zapier to help me. Has anyone figured out how to do this?

I inquired about this possibility of this feature with Solar Winds, and they didn't seem to be able to offer this.

Note: I am using a hosted web-based system.

Thank you in advance!

Okay, I'm replying to my own question already. I think what I am meaning to say here is "integrations". I want to integrate a time tracking start/stop button for each tech to use on a ticket. I am not seeing that tickets can show up on their google calendars. If I can integrate the google calendar with Web Help Desk, can I then use a chrome extension, like Time Tracker with Ebility to keep track of time with a button on specific tickets?

In WHD, time tracking is done with notes in tickets. You might be able to write some sort of middleware with the start/stop timer functionality you are looking for and when the stop button activated, it would append a ticket note with the time worked.
